NYS Tax Dept. offers free webinar Thursday for tax practitioners

Submitted by aolson on Wed, 01/18/2012 - 10:42

From 2 to 4 p.m. tomorrow, Jan. 19, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance will re-broadcast its first webinar in a series of free sessions aimed at easing the transition from paper to electronic filing for tax professionals.

New regulations require tax professionals to e-file almost all New York State tax forms online. The webinar, titled "How to Manage Your Tax Clients' Online Accounts," will walk viewers through the steps of creating an Online Services account (which allow tax preparers to e-file and manage client documents and payments), filing returns and making payments on behalf of clients, and accessing other online services available through the  department.

To view the webinar, visit http://www.tax.ny.gov/help/outreach/january19webinar.htm and follow the instructions. Participants will be able to join the webinar beginning at 1:40 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 19. For help or technical support, call 800-394-2441.

The department said in a release that it will make available repeat sessions of this and additional webinars on other topics in the future. The department's website also features information for other workshops and educational opportunities as well as demos and videos explaining current processes and procedures.
